About

Channelle Kizy-White maintains her own practice in Southfield, Michigan.  She specializes in all areas of family law and criminal defense.  Her practice includes representation of business executives, engineers, doctors, religious leaders, business personnel, entrepreneurs, and other professionals and their families.  She is fluent in Spanish and proficient in Chaldean.Channelle was born in Southfield, Michigan.  When she was growing up she had dreams of becoming a lawyer, or maybe even a Supreme Court Justice.  While she always knew she wanted to be a lawyer, it wasn’t until college that she went through an experience that further solidified her dreams.In 1999, a person very close to Channelle was accused of murder.  Over the course of almost eighteen months, she was able to experience first-hand the injustices that often occur because of the tremendous power the government possesses.  Channelle is able to fully understand and relate to the pain and suffering that a family and other loved ones endure when a person close to them is accused of a crime.  The government often times makes people feel as if they do not have a voice and have no control over the situation.  To Channelle, being a lawyer is not just about fighting for justice, it’s about fighting for individual families and helping people understand the process every step along the way.  After going through this extremely difficult experience, there was no doubt in Channelle’s mind that she would become an attorney so that she could fight for people and against the government every day. Due to Channelle’s hard work and dedication to her studies, she graduated from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with honors. She then went on to attend Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where she achieved Dean’s List honors. While attending Loyola, Channelle had an opportunity to work with and learn from nationally renowned trial attorneys. She also earned a position on the Bankruptcy Moot Court Team and argued in front of the Bankruptcy Court in Illinois. Most interestingly, Channelle worked with professors in researching and helping to prosecute Augusto Pinochet, the Chilean president who before his recent death, was being investigated and criminally prosecuted for the terrorist acts he made his citizens endure.After each year of law school, Channelle returned home for the summers to work as a law clerk for Neil Rockind.  During these summers, she had the opportunity to work on a number of high profile cases.  She helped defend a Farmington Hills woman accused of poisoning her husband and the next summer, Channelle assisted in the defense of a man accused of an eighteen year old murder in Tawas City, Michigan.Channelle has represented individuals from all walks of life.  Each and every one of her clients receives the same enthusiasm, attention and determination that she would want for her own family.

In 2017, Channelle Kizy-White and her legal team represented me in my divorce. They were available and patient with every concern that I had, as well as, giving me excellent legal advice. After the divorce was settled there were some other financial issues that had to be divided and of course they walked me through that process. If I every need any kind of legal representation, I trust her advice, as well as, receiving any referral outside of her specialty I say Thank you to Attorney Kizy-White and her legal team. Sorry it took me so long to writer a review.

Channelle helped me with a case recently and to say she is the very best is an understatement. She is professional kind and treats her clients with respect. Was able to get charged dropped nearly dismissed

I defended myself through much of the proceeding then asked Channelle to come in near the end to finish it off. This was an international custody case, complex, with a lot of challenges. I wouldnt recommend defending yourself but it was intentional. Channelle picked up and executed beautifully. She understood my goals, she challenged me, she was strong in court and respectful. She quickly became the leader in the courtroom, and her arguments were sound and precise. She understood how to get to the heart of the matter and move this along, while having the best interest of my daughter at every step. I have a lot of respect for Channelle and would recommend her highly. She even broke out the spanish - a welcome surprise.

Channelle is one of the most outstanding, empathetic, hardworking, and responsive attorneys I’ve dealt with. She treated me like I was family and zealous advocated me through a difficult process. I thank God for her meticulous work product and earnest effort.

The attorney's at Kizy Law are some of the most compassionate lawyers you can have represent you. I contacted Channelle late in October when I was surprised by my wife's infidelity. I was referred to her by another attorney who indicated she was the areas best family lawyer. From my first conversation with her, I could tell this to be true. Throughout the process, her law office was in constant communication with not only me, but also my ex. She graciously assisted her and answered both our questions, when she didn't have to. We did things amicable and Chanelle was in support with this, throughout the entire process. All emails were answered promptly and the lines of communication were always open. I never felt as though I was just another client, but that she genuinely was interested in seeing my well being protected throughout the divorce. I don't wish anyone to have to go through a divorce. And I know my circumstances are unique and incredibly rare. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services for any of my friends or family's needs, should they also need a family lawyer who is compassionate, while looking out for your interests. I'm grateful for her assistance throughout the proceedings. It felt reassuring to know that her team of attorney's were looking out for my finances, while I was dealing with the shock and trauma of the divorce itself. Thank you.

Alls I can say about Chanelle and Kristina(who mainly worked on my case , I was shocked with what they were able to do. I had filled for divorce twice before but I had incompetent council soI just dropped the divorce to try and see if my marriage could be fixed . But my wife would text me during the divorce as she’s withholding my daughter for months if you want this to be over drop the divorce and we move back in tomorrow . And she did that the first time I filled . Her attorney bullied my other attorneys and they had me sign all this crazy stuff without a judge never ordering it and probably would of never ordered it. Kristina just said be patient with covid and this will all play in my favor. She was seeking full custody with two overnights a month and i ended up getting joint physical and joint legal and I have my daughter for about 47 percent of the overnights throughout the year. And they wanted like 1,000 child support and the got about 1/10th of that. I’m on a good path now but I do have a past and Kristina really made that a non issue and used the constant games every time we go through the divorce. But if you would of asked me what I would of took she got me more than that. I know cops, successfully businessmen who are highly successful with great character and they weren’t able to get what I got . She came highly recommended by my boss Mark Z and she is extremely reasonable on her fees as well. I probably emailed her every single day for the 90 days and she always got back with me most times within five minutes. I already have people that I am recommending to them. I saw online that Chanelle has won awards for top ten attorney in the state and her fees are dramatically cheaper than all those other big shots. The difference is she will put the time in. If you search her there several pages of google she has about 80 reviews and every single one is a five star. Mark Z is the top realtor in Michigan and he told me to not worry when I went with them but they exceeded my expectations and I can breathe and sleep again knowing not only will I have my daugnter half the time I have to be included in every decision. This team is one of the best in the state minus ripping and gauging you like many do. I usually don’t leave reviews but if I would of hired 9 people this is the only team that could of got me what I got . Thank you guys so much for your hard work and dedication and getting us a big win. It’s what’s best for my daughter to spend equal time with both parents and that’s what it should be.

Channelle and her Secretary Sarah, recognized that despite a PPO being in place, I was still being victimized, and squeezed me in for a consult at the drop of a hat. Channelle did not hesitate to take my case, treated it as her own, fought for me, my peace of mind, and ensured I, and my case mattered! At a time when my life was turned upside down, at the hands of someone who assaulted me, Channelle stood firm in gaining victory for me, while never swaying from what I wanted, and what was in my best interest. Her strong legal skills, faith, and compassion is exactly what I needed, and she proved nothing less, than to be the Best! Thank you, Channelle, from the depths of my soul for bringing light, peace, and life back to me. Thank you, Sarah for recognizing I needed immediate assistance, and getting me an immediate appointment. I appreciate you both Immensely!

I have been working with Channelle on my divorce and child support case since 2014. I could not find anyone better from her, she knows the law very well and she fights hard for my rights. I could not thank her enough for her help through the past years. She is the one you need. Thank you Channelle for all of your great work.

I worked with Channelle on my child custody case on and off for nearly two years. It was stalling on the other side that drew it out so long. In that time my calls and e-mails were always returned quickly. My concerns were always addressed. I appreciate that the answers that I got were real and honest even when it may not have been what I was hoping for. She guided me into a resolution that was in my and my child’s best interest. Throughout the entire process it was obvious how much passion Channelle has for her career and how much she cares about her clients. I strongly encourage anyone in a similar situation to meet with her.
